Bailey is a scar positive, signing, Deaf storyteller and professional dancer, who believes etiquette, work ethic and role modeling matter as much to a role as just inhabiting a part. As a disabled choreographer, director, music supervisor, and actor, she has spent the last 8 years running a company called Company Dance Theatre on the east coast: the first body neutral, large scale company in the US. But she’s also been a journalist, columnist and novelist for almost three decades, in addition to the trials and tribulations of motherhood. As a formally misdiagnosed mutant, she hopes to raise awareness of atypical CFTR disease and help anyone who isn’t genetically in the black or white feel less alone.
